According to TMZ, Sam will be participating on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Sam, who announced to the world a little more than a year ago that he's gay, is not currently on an NFL roster.

The free-agent defensive end has been out of work since being released by the Dallas Cowboys from their practice squad last season. Before that, the Rams — who drafted Sam in Round 7 last year — cut him after a three-sack, 11-tackle preseason performance.
